Overview

We are surrounded by open source software. Not only the open source software all of us use, also many of the commercial applications contain open source libraries. And in our routers, our cars, our phones, everywhere...

In the OWASP Open Review Project (ORPRO) we perform open reviews of open source projects. We focus on security, are independent, and use the excellent deliverables from other OWASP projects to achieve traceable assurance statements on the security of the code. Users, both end-users and organizations using open source in their products, may benefit from ORPRO’s results.

Security review takes both time and expertise. We need people with good secure coding skills in C, C++, .NET, Java, php, etc and that have the audacity to review some of the most popular open source projects around.
